Restoration of CFTR function in patients with cystic fibrosis carrying the F508del-CFTR mutation [PDF]
Restoration of BECN1/Beclin 1-dependent autophagy and depletion of SQSTM1/p62 by genetic manipulation or autophagy-stimulatory proteostasis regulators, such as cystamine, have positive effects on mouse models of human cystic fibrosis (CF). These measures

Infantile nephropathic cystinosis [PDF]
CASE PRESENTATION A Caucasian girl, the product of a non-consanguineous union, was delivered after a full-term uneventful pregnancy with a birth weight of 4.1 kg. At 15 months, she presented to the emergency room with signs of a respiratory illness and was found to weigh 6.14 kg, below the 3rd percentile for age.

Cell therapy for cystinosis [PDF]
In the September 2009 issue of Blood, Syres et al. [1] report on syngeneic bone marrow cell (BMC) and haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) therapy as a successful treatment in a mouse model of cystinosis, an autosomal recessive metabolic disease caused by a defect in the transport of cystine across the lysosomal membrane. The accumulation of cystine crystals

Cysteamine inhibits lysosomal oxidation of low density lipoprotein in human macrophages and reduces atherosclerosis in mice [PDF]
Background and aims: We have shown previously that low density lipoprotein (LDL) aggregated by vortexing is internalised by macrophages and oxidised by iron in lysosomes to form the advanced lipid/protein oxidation product ceroid.

Cystinosis and two rare mutations in CTNS gene: two case reports
Background Cystinosis is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by an accumulation of the amino acid cystine in lysosomes throughout the body. Cystinosis is an inherited disease resulting from the failure of lysosomal cystine transport.

Low density lipoprotein oxidation by ferritin at lysosomal pH [PDF]
Oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) has been proposed to be involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. We have previously shown that LDL can be oxidised by iron in lysosomes.

Pulmonary dysfunction in children with Cystinosis: single center study, original article
Background Cystinosis is a rare autosomal recessive disorder involving lysosomal storage of the amino acid cystine due to a defect in the membrane transport protein, cystinosin.

Halitosis in cystinosis patients after administration of immediate-release cysteamine bitartrate compared to delayed-release cysteamine bitartrate [PDF]
Halitosis due to dimethylsulfide (DMS) generation is a major side effect of cysteamine in the treatment of cystinosis. Recently, an enteric coated formulation of cysteamine bitartrate (RP103) administered twice daily was demonstrated to be non-inferior ...

Anaesthetic management of a child with cystinosis
Cystinosis is a lysosomal storage disorder which is characterized by abnormal accumulation of amino acid cysteine. Cystinosis affects various tissues of the body and has several anesthetic implications.
